Spain W/Cup Bonus Sparks Anger

A World Cup bonus of 720,000 euros ($A1.08 million) for each member of Spain’s national team if it wins the tournament in Brazil has sparked anger among parliamentarians.

Captain Iker Casillas and vice-captain Xavi Hernandez signed the deal with Spain’s football federation June 3 on behalf of the 23 players. It was an increase from the E600,000 ($A890,000) each received when Spain won the 2010 tournament.
